Sip + Savor brings wine country avors to Highland Village Co-owners and spouses Jenn and Scott Sharrer had a dream of combining Jenn’s love of wines and Scott’s love for food. So, the Sharrer’s opened Sip + Savor in Highland Village in 2022. The background

restaurant right before the COVID-19 pandemic. They had some tough decisions to make, but through hardship they discovered their dream was possible. “We didn’t lose a meal,” Jenn said. “We didn’t lose anything, but that was what told us that we can aord to—either one of us or both of us—step back from our roles that we thought were so big and mighty, and paying the bills and doing all those things, and really jump into something new.” Jenn, the wine and design mind of Sip + Savor, said she had a big whiteboard in her room with cut out pictures from magazines to draw inspiration. “We want to transport you to wine country,” Jenn said. “That’s what our hopes and dreams are, is to transport people to somewhere completely dierent.”

MEADERY OPEN Every Saturday 10AM-6PM and Sunday 10AM-5PM

In 2011, Jenn Sharrer was a sales representative for Republic National and Scott Sharrer was the direc- tor of operations. She met him at the bistro inside Nordstrom where she was showing a wine list and sampling the wine. Jenn said she would normally taste wines with the general manager, but Scott Sharrer decided he wanted to taste wines with her that day. Through some trial and error, Scott eventually gave Jenn his business. “So I got the wine list,” Jenn said. “I would come in more and he was magically there more, and he asked me out on a date and we went and had drinks. We’ve been dating ever since.” The pair eventually got married and had four children. Scott has more than 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry. He has worked with many restau- rants, including Whiskey Cake, Fireside Pies and more, with Sip + Savor being his 26th restaurant to open. A closer look Jenn said they started dreaming of owning their own
